"A tempest of e-jazz-noise erupts on the Atavistic debut from Fire Room, a new project between longtime collaborators Ken Vandermark, Lasse Marhaug & Paal Nilssen-Love. As core members of the initial lineup of (((Powerhouse Sound))) -- as well as an array of other adventurous small & large groups -- these cats know each other well. The telepathic vibe necessary to make free music really work is tested & expanded upon throughout Broken Music -- amplified literally AND figuratively by Marhaug's penchant for darker -- yet still explosive -- forays on a gamut of electronic gear. Users are currently invited to investigate the outer reaches of both jazz & electronic frontiers simultaneously with Fire Room."
